Is it not more a case of they stick together and dont want to fraternise with the natives. Having known a few police officers over the years they did all tend to socialise together rather than meet up with outsiders in the pub even as young men we noticed that. I just assumed they were told not to be too friendly with non-officers in case of being led astray or other such suspect possibilities. I can also see by your avatar that you do indulge in the water of life. A man after my own heart sir altho not so much the peaty type stuff. Dave

I always thought you were full time musician or bass shop. Dave

Another quite unusual and differing career path @BassTractor. Sorry about the stroke and burn-out but i could see why in certain jobs the stress can be over-whelming. If creating a 2nd Universe please let me know as i reckon i could jump on board. I have the Hitch Hikers Guide which will help us along the way. At the end of the day we all have BC to fall back on for some support and a blether or even a basschat. Always around for anyone that needs a wee chat. Dave

Fair bit of jumping around between high techy stuff to delivery boy / man. Seems to be up and down a lot on career ladders. With regards the Teebs thing i can see where that comes from. The Teebs things does continue to make me laugh.............a awful lot so keep that up. Dave

Ready to go on-stage Fri night. That's me at the back.

Awfy serious there Blue Dave

As a teenager i always wanted to be an Air Traffic Controller and even looked at RAF to do it but was talked out of it by my Dad who was a Navy man and dn't want me in the services. I did OK tho so no regrets Dave

That's an interesting career. Bet there's a few good stories from that little lot.

I've ran out of reactions for today and its only 10am

You do have us on BC to cheer you up. Dave

I have visions of this now. Handling the internet

And Emoji presenter

Do you play more gigs with Double Bass than Electric Bass. ?

What exactly do you do. ?

Similar to where i started 44 yrs ago

Its funny how some of us are connected outwith Bass playing. Dave

So you work for Local Council then

Not sure why it would put barriers up. Your past sounds pretty impressive and exciting and a huge respect from me. Dave

I was an Instrument Engineer before moving into Engineering Management. What company are you with. Curious to see if i know their kit. Dave

Oddly enough my hair didn't turn grey / white until i moved into management then it just seemed i was blonde one day and grey the next. Even old pics it seemed to be overnight. That's why i retired early as i could at 55. Dave

A seasoned traveller then. Out of curiosity what country were you born in.

Think that's what i had in my head with tape and finishing. That's how my house was done. Dave

Wow just noted you are in China Must be the furthest member on BC Dave

I've not really seen the jar and tip thing up here but if i did come across it i'd be assuming it was for the band. If i put money in it would only be because i enjoyed the band. I donate to enough charities thru direct debits and hand-outs at shopping centres etc. Think i would be a bit miffed if not even consulted. Dave
